I asked my lover for her hand
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
A red tailed hawk circled overhead
"The church on the hill" was what she said
A monster cloud like a big black hen
A monster cloud like a big black hen
A monster cloud like a big black hen
As she drew houses in the sand
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
Then I heard a train whistle blow
And I knew it was time to go
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
I asked my lover for her hand
I asked my lover for her hand
I asked my lover for her hand
